GOP Rep. Thornberry: Trump's ISIS Rhetoric ‘Uncomfortable to Hear'

[Britbart] Host Jake Tapper asked, "What do you make of the president’s‐ he painted a very vivid picture of al Baghdadi dying a very cowardly death, which I don’t doubt for a second, a lot of these terrorists are cowards. It was very vivid. He talked about him crying and whining, detonating his vest, killing his three children while he did so. I don’t doubt it, they’re monsters, but is there any concern on your part because now there is a question what ISIS will do in response to this move, in response perhaps to the president’s rhetoric. Does that concern you at all in terms of galvanizing or motivating isis terrorists?"
Feelings, Comfort levels, likes, dislikes, emotions...WTF? Sorry Jake, I'm completely 'Out of Schlitz.' Have been for several years now.
Thornberry replied, "It probably makes me a little uncomfortable to hear a president talking that way. Again Baghdadi was the inspirational leader for the ISIS network across the world from Africa to Southeast Asia. If you can take a little bit of the glamour off him and make him less inspirational, there is a value to that for all of these folks who are on their computers or in these networks looking to attack."
Saying he died a cowardly death imparts glamour to it? Remember, this is a Texas Cong Pub saying this. In case you're wondering if anything will change with a GOP win next year.

#2 War is f'ing war. The leader was communicating in a manner the enemy understands even though that is beyond your comprehension.

#3 The people complaining about what Trump said are confused. To his jihadi followers, Baghdadi is a glorious martyr, nothing else. They aren't talking about him being pathetic and humiliated. I wouldn't be surprised if a jihadi could get killed for talking like that.

#4 It was very vivid. He talked about him crying and whining, detonating his vest...

Entirely believable. In those last few fleeting WTF moments, many have been heard screaming into their cellies. Generally doesn't bode well for the fellow on the other end either as I recall.

#5 Being from his district, I can tell you this: he was a mundane Amarillo lawyer without notable intellect or accomplishment, first elected as a place holder in deeply Republican district. Slowly rose to committee chair through seniority alone. Has chosen now to retire, thanks be; hope someone with a pulse will replace.

#6 Baghdadi was using his 3 kids as human shields so the troops wouldn't shoot at him. He blew himself and his children when a dog was sent take him down.

Fuck the coward.

#7 It is spineless fucks like you that allowed ISIS to rise.

Put a condom over year heart, Mr. Thornberry. Because we are about to fuck you feelings.

#9 Well, the Left is winning the culture wars when even Texas pubs are afraid of getting toxic masculinity on their shoes.

#11 Terror is about marketing and PR as much as racking up bodies. I believe Trump understands this in a way that whiny-ass bitches on both sides of the do not.

#12 Trump was sending a message to what might be left of ISIS. The message was intended to demoralize them.

#13 The idea is to make it harder for his followers to rally around the martyr. It's not rocket science.

#14 Okay, I looked at the video of Thornberry. He makes me feel Uncomfortable! That said Muddy never made me feel uncomfortable. It’s must be his bald head and snake oil salesman look.

#15 This man sounds like every faggot fuck that stands by and lets things happen because he'd 'rather not piss off the aggressor'. Like the kind of people who teach 'retreat' first in fight class.
